review:
'Britannia, Vol. 3: Lost Eagles of Rome' by Peter Milligan with art by Robert Gill is another adventure with Roman Detectioner Antonius Axia.

This time, the early detective is sent to find the lost eagles, troop standards that were lost in a battle with Germany. The loss of the troops is trivial compared to the psychological trauma of losing the eagles, or aquila, at least to Nero. This time, Antonius is teamed up with a gladiator who has been promised her freedom if she can help find the eagles. The search leads them to Egypt, against Nero's orders.

I enjoyed the first 2 volumes of this series. I enjoyed this one less. The story feels a bit more standard of a whodunnit and less mystical in nature. The art quality seems to have dropped this time around too. I do still enjoy this series, though.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Valiant Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
